The
ppargc1asa13186 line (
ppargc1asa13186/sa13186) was obtained from ZIRC (Eugene, OR) (Busch-Nentwich et al., 2013 ). Homozygous mutant and heterozygous zebrafish were identified as previously described (Chambers et al., 2018 (
link)) using genotyping primers, forward 5′–GGGCCGGCATGTGGAATGTAAAGACTTAAACATGCCAACCTCCACTACTACGACATCATCGTTGTCTTCCACCCCCCC TTCGTCTTCCTCACTGGCCAGG–3′, and reverse 5′–TCCCACTACCCCGCTATAGAAGGCTTGCTGAGGCTTTCCAAAGTGCTTGTTGAGCTCGTCCCGGATCTCCTGGTCCCTAAGAAGTTTCCTGCCACCAGAA–3′.
Antisense morpholino oligonucleotides (MOs) were obtained from Gene Tools, LLC (Philomath, OR). MOs were solubilized in DNase/RNase free water to generate 4 mM stock solutions which were stored at −20°C. Zebrafish embryos were injected at the 1-cell stage with 1–2 nL of diluted MO.
ppargc1a was targeted with the following validated MO: 5′–CCTGATTACACCTGTCCCACGCCAT–3′ (400 μM optimal, 200 μM suboptimal) (Hanai et al., 2007 (
link); Bertrand et al., 2007 (
link), Chambers et al., 2018 (
link)).
ptgs1 was targeted with the following validated MO: 5′-TCAGCAAAAAGTTACACTCTCTCAT-3′ (400 μM optimal, 200 μM suboptimal) (Marra et al., 2019a (
link); Poureetezadi et al., 2016 (
link), North et al., 2007 (
link)). The
ift88 MO was 5′-AGCAGATGCAAAATGACTCACTGGG-3′ (100uM) (Vasilyev et al., 2009 (
link); Gerlach and Wingert, 2014 (
link)). Control MO was 5′-CCTCTTACCTCAGTTACAATTTATA-3′ (400uM) (Gene Tools, LLC).
